A theory on theory (2)

Although it is nice to have a theory, it is only a theory. There is no theory in the world that will replace experience.

Theories are nice to have as a way for mind to make sense of it all and as a way to talk about it with others. It’s good practice to be precise with words when you try to explain something complex. Be clear with what you mean with a words and stick to it. It’s also good practice to feel for the experience behind the words when listening to someone explaining their theory. It is like someone once wrote: ”You can sum up all the words to describe God, then you’ve got a list of all words, but you will not experience God”*

Experience is here and now, with every breathe and every heartbeat you can start anew, you just need to choose to do so. There is no need for “it’s too late now” or “but I don’t know how” you are breathing right now aren’t you…., that’s all you need to know.

Experiencing “the answer” or getting past the zebra’s and artichokes, has no form and no rules, there is no right or wrong and it will go as fast or as slow as you need it to go.

“And it took all that time

just to find yourself,

and that’s how long it had to take

and it was well worth every moment”*

So jump on in the water is fine.
